I don't know if I'll go that in-depth but I've been lifting pretty regularly since sophomore year of high school and now seven year later I'm still at it. I played lacrosse in high school and a lot of rec league basketball. I've really gotten into running this past year and I'm now running almost three miles a day, five days a week. I've really noticed my increase in endurance when I play basketball now and it feels great.
However, I pretty much ate whatever up until a couple of weeks ago. But I did cut out soda and juices at the start of the year. I wasn't noticing too much physical improvement from running but now that I've started this new diet I am really starting to see it.
We should share are food schedules!
Breakfast:
- Smoothie - water, blueberries, protein powder, oatmeal. Two fish oil pills.
Lunch:
- Chicken breast and either broccoli or spinach. Two fish oil pills.
Snack:
- Spoonful of peanut butter
After-workout Drink:
-Water/Protein Power with some fruit
Dinner:
- Ground turkey and either broccoli or spinach. Spoonful of peanut butter. Two fish oil pills.
Lots of water and Sunday is my cheat day where I eat whatever. It's a pretty great diet. The breakfast smoothie is great and keeps me full for a few hours unlike when I used to eat two bowls of cheerios and get hungry in one hour. The fish oil pills are twice the recommended amount and I'll probably cut back once I get down to the body fat I want to be at, they're supposed to help lose weight. It's a really high protein diet and I get close to 200g of it a day but I workout five times a week so this might be for you if you aren't trying to build muscle.
